Public service obligation
This article does not cite any references or sources. (February 2009) |
In transportation law of the European Union, public service obligation or PSO is an arrangement in which a governing body or other authority offers an auction for subsidies, thereby permitting the winning company a monopoly to operate a specified service of public transport for a specified period of time for the given subsidy. This is done in cases where there is not enough revenue for routes to be profitable in a free market, but where there is a socially desirable advantage in this transport being available. The use of PSO can be applied to many mode of transport, including air, sea, road or rail. In many cases the introduction of PSO has been a way to privatize former government owned transport. The infrastructure is often separated from the operation, and may be owned by the governing body or by a third party. The authority may also maintain the ownership of the vehicles, such as ferries or rolling stock.
Traditionally, public transport has been operated through a company wholly owned by the state with monopoly, like a national railway company. Alternatively, private companies were granted privileges (with or without subsidies) granting them a monopoly. In later years many markets have been deregulated, especially in Europe, paying the lowest bidding operator to carry out the traffic at regular auctions.
This section does not cite any references or sources. (June 2014) |
The authority issuing the auction may be a ministry of transport, county, province, state, municipality or other regional or local authority, or it can be a transit authority or other ad hoc organization responsible for some state of transport in an area. To be the auctioning part the authority must have some vested interest in subsidizing the transport in addition to the authority to ban other interests from operating competing services on parts or all of the system.
The auctioneer will specify a number of terms of the service, such as frequency, size of vehicle, timing of service, the maximum permitted fare paid by some or all the available seats and/or other specifications related to service and quality. The auctioneer can specify either a net or gross contract. In the latter the operator bids for the full operating costs, and all revenue goes to the authority; with net contracts the operator will be granted all revenue, and will bid only for the necessary difference between fare revenue and that needed to make the desired profit. The use of gross contracts reduces the risk of the operator since they do not need to estimate the ridership and will normally give lower bids since there is a lower risk premium in each bid. This option also makes it easier to create free transfer between operators and modes.
Net contracts commonly used to give the operators an incentive to increase ridership, where there would be a high administrative costs with the authority administrating the fares, or where the auctioneer wants to reduce its own risk. Urban public transport with transit authorities is most commonly operated with gross contracts, while airlines and ferry routes are typically operated on net contracts.
Typical uses of PSO include regional airline services in districts of for instance in Northern Norway or Ireland, where the airlines serve marginally populated areas not profitable for the carriers without subsidies. Rail services can be unprofitable even on major routes, and government subsidies are sometimes offered through PSO on unprofitable routes, for instance this has been very popular in Germany. Most cities subsidize their public transport, and in places where the transport is provided by private companies, that may be awarded through PSO. Other common PSO services are ferries, such as the routes to Gotland in Sweden, or car ferries on the road network of Norway. Ferry routes serving outlying islands in Hong Kong are also subsidised since recently, as a result of rising oil price and therefore the costs of operations.
European Union[edit]
In the European Union, route PSOs are governed by Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008. They must be offered for tender in the Official Journal of the European Union and be open to any transport operator registered in an EU member state. There are limitations in the number of passengers which can be carried where the route can remain eligible for PSO. The winning tenderer usually receives a monopoly on the route, but may have to conform to one or more conditions of service, such as the type and size of vehicle, the timing of services, the maximum fare paid for a portion or all of the seats offered, membership of a common reservation system, quality of service measured by a maximum percentage of cancelled services, etc.
Examples of air transport PSOs currently in operation in Europe are routes from Dublin to Kerry and Donegal, routes between the Greek Mainland and the Greek Islands, routes from Italian mainland to Sardinia and Elba, routes between the French mainland and Corsica, certain domestic routes within Norway, Sweden and Finland, and routes to the Scottish Highlands and Islands.
International routes are usually not supported by PSO. This is because of a political principle that people should pay for international travel themselves, not through tax money. This is especially evident in Scandinavia where there is very little international air traffic between cities other than through the capitals, where connections are commercially profitable.

NINTENDO DS | Japan |
By Spencer . December 26, 2007 . 12:15pm
Just when it seems like Gainax couldn't milk the Evangelion franchise anymore they came up with Puchi Eva Evangelion@School. The project stars super deformed Shinji and emphasizes his time at school instead of angel slaying. On March 20, 2008 the cuter version of Eva arrives on the Nintendo DS care of Namco Bandai who decided Puchi Eva is best as a touch screen adventure game. Tapping the screen to solve everyday puzzles is far from what I imagine when I think of an Evangelion game. No matter how many cute toys come out of Japan Evangelion remains a depressing, overly emotional story in my mind.

Hyperglycemia and cerebral glucose in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 18320167 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether hyperglycemia exerts deleterious effects via cerebral energy metabolism and to illuminate the effects of cerebral high/low glucose in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective, nonrandomized single-center study over a 2-year period in an intensive care unit at a primary-level university hospital. PATIENTS: 28 subarachnoid hemorrhage patients (age 53 +/- 10 years, WFNS grade 2.8 +/- 1.5) classified as asymptomatic (n = 5) or symptomatic with acute focal or delayed ischemic neurological deficits (n = 23). MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Hyperglycemia (> 7.8 mmol/l; >140 mg/dl) was more frequent in symptomatic patients and was reflected in higher glycerol concentrations than in asymptomatic patients. In all patients a microdialysis catheter was inserted into the tissue at risk; dialysates were collected hourly for 10 days. Cerebral low-glucose episodes (0.6 mmol/l) and high-glucose episodes (>2.6 mmol/l) occurred independently of blood glucose levels. During high-glucose episodes cerebral microdialysate levels were normal, while cerebral low glucose, occurring more frequently in symptomatic patients, was associated with severe cellular distress (increase in lactate/pyruvate ratio, glutamate, glycerol) and with unfavorable outcome if combined with hyperglycemia. CONCLUSIONS: Although hyperglycemia was more frequent in symptomatic patients and associated with high glycerol levels, hyperglycemia was not related to cerebral high glucose. It appears that the association of adverse outcome with acute-phase hyperglycemia is not mediated by cerebral glucose metabolism. Cerebral low glucose was associated with severe metabolic distress and may present a target for therapy to improve clinical outcome. |

June 22, 2012 | Appropriate Technology, Education, Mushroom Cultivation, Mushrooms, Resources, Small Farm Skills | 8 comments | Author: Kirsten Bradley
At the moment we're doing some serious research on how mushroom cultivation will best fit into the integrated systems at Milkwood Farm. We're looking for options that are low-energy input, appropriate for our climate, use waste materials we have on-farm, and yield lots of yummy mushrooms!
It's proving a little trickier than we thought. Our relatively exposed site and low humidity may not suit a more conventional mushroom house, so we're looking at the margins of existing systems and structures to begin with…
Firstly, we'll be taking the 'inoculate it, and they will come' approach for some types of mushrooms for outdoor cultivation. We're already inoculating pine seedlings with spores, inoculating shiitake logs with sawdust spawn and dowel spawn, and making grain spawn to grow oyster mushrooms etc in bags.
It's likely that what we'll aim for is a combination of managed and free-form mushroom cultivation:
– cultivated logs, bags and jars of mushrooms in the suitable spaces that we have with relatively high humidity (bags/jars/logs under the benches in the shade house, logs in the denser parts of the forest garden).
– inoculated plantings (most notably pines) that have complimentary species of fungi (saffron milk caps etc) added to the soil in the form of spores at time of planting
– straw mushroom gardens (summer only)
– woodchip mushroom gardens and mushroom rafts in the forest gardens
Mushrooms and fungi are an excellent addition to any farmstead or backyard growing operation for a couple of fundamental reasons – the biggest reason (perhaps surprisingly) is that fungi BUILDS SOIL BIGTIME by breaking down carbon, wherever it goes.
So regardless of the fact that our low-humidity climate is not super suited to growing some edible mushrooms, we're committed to mushroom cultivation for its compost acceleration abilities and its abilities to convert wood to food (albeit sporadically).
However the mushroom integration strategies that are most pushing my buttons at the moment is at the fabulous Growing Power. Within their excellent integrated food growing systems they manage to stash mushrooms all over the joint:
As well as vertical mushroom growing in bags, they also grow mushrooms on vertical logs over some of their aquaponics fish tanks. A great explanation from David of perspectives on permaculture:
Each oak log in the photo has had holes drilled in the side, and each hole has been filled with mushroom spawn, and then capped with food-grade wax (to ensure there's no contamination). These mycelium slowly begin to eat the log from the inside out, until they sprout out the top. At this point, the folks at Growing Power know they're ready, and they dunk the logs into the tilapia water.
Like mushrooms in the wild, as soon as these mycelium get wet, they immediately begin to propagate in an attempt to preserve themselves, blooming into the mushrooms we recognize in our supermarket aisles. Once the mycelium have grown through the log, this dunking process can be repeated every 2 months for 6 years. That's a lot of mushrooms!
Definitely something to think about for incorporation into future greenhouses at Milkwood Farm!
For both our and your further research, thanks to Will Borowski we are able to share a copy of the most excellent Mushroom Growers Handbook 1: Oyster Mushroom Cultivation – a truly excellent resource on the basics of mushroom growing across the world , created by the very fine www.MushWorld.com, an excellent mushroom resource node which seems to have gone offline.
[scribd id=97323446 key=key-sfx8t7tvku1qvkj8h98 mode=slideshow]
There's also a great stash of free resources here on log, stump and many other sorts of mushroom cultivation…
If you'd like to learn the excellent and intriguing art of mushroom cultivation, we host intensive workshops with Will Borowski in Sydney and at Milkwood Farm which cover lots of different techniques and skills for indoor and outdoor mushroom cultivation.

Thanks to Will Borowski for his ongoing knowledge on all things fungal, and also to Paul (Speedy) Ward for the awesome inoculated pines!

yes, Mushworld…
I was so sad when mushworld.com suddenly evaporated.
there were so many great research papers and articles available there.
from very well funded universities to small projects in remote places in Africa trying to alleviate poverty and malnutrition by growing mushrooms on agricultural wastes.
It all dissappeared before I managed to obtain hardcopies of their books
downloads are good, but I like books.
I've given it some thought over the years (mushroom house for dry climates).
I think a polytunnel type shadehouse/hothouse lined with with geotextile right up along the sides covering about 80% of it, just leaving a strip at the top open.
Cover that with polyfilm to keep humidity in and allow a bit of sunlight from above.
Then some heavy shadecloth above that to temper the intensity of the sunlight comming in.
Ventilation at the ends and a bit from the sides (rolled up a bit on hot days)
the whole house to be surrounded by shrubs that can humidify the air comming into the house.
geotextile inside the house wetted by a weeping hose that has been wrapped up in
the top of it
hessian could be used instead of geofabric, but would need more to exclude light.
Bloody font of knowledge you are, Speedy!
Downloads? If I remember correctly I got off on a wild goose chase for several books from mushworld and wound up with only one. Since they were freely available would you be willing to share? (I am OK with downloads.. as is my banker.
sure, start here http://www.scribd.com/doc/38272411/Shiitake-Mushroom-Handbook
saw some really cheap 2nd hand coolroom panels online at greysonline..may help
good luck
This is so inspiring! We tried the mushroom log + fish pond idea a couple years back. We left the logs in the water too long and the fish ate out the plugs! They scoured that log clean. Never got a mushroom out of it again. An important lesson.
Mushroom growing and aquaponics – I would have never thought of the two working together. This is fascinating!
Have you read Sepp Holzer's methods for mushroom growing?

2011 Hispanic Heritage Celebration
Exhibit on view October 5 – December 31, 2011
The Newark Public Librarys 2011 Hispanic Heritage Celebration pays tribute to the history and cultural traditions of Mexico and examines the presence and contributions of Mexican heritage New Jerseyans — a community that has become an integral part of the states growing multicultural mosaic. This years Hispanic Heritage Celebration programs are made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and administered by the Essex County Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs. The exhibit, Journey from Aztlán: Mexican Heritage New Jerseyans, was assisted by a grant from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of the Department of State.
Exhibition The three–month exhibit, Journey from Aztlán: Mexican Heritage New Jerseyans, explores how this evolving community is part of the rapidly changing demographic–economic face of NJ, and showcases original artwork by contemporary Mexican–heritage artists in the tri–state area, as well as original prints from celebrated Mexican artists (Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros and Rufino Tamayo among others) from the Newark Public Librarys Special Collections. The exhibit was co–curated by Darius Echeverría, Guest Historian, Rutgers University and Ingrid Betancourt, NJ Hispanic Research & Information Center at The Library, in collaboration with a Mexican Community Advisory Committee. Journey from Aztlán: Mexican Heritage New Jerseyans, 2nd floor gallery, Main Library, will be open to the public during regular library hours through December 31. To schedule guided tours of the exhibition in English or Spanish, please call 973–733–7772 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Opening Reception The opening reception for this years exhibit and public program series takes place on Wednesday, October 5, 6:00–8:00pm at the Main Librarys Centennial Hall and will feature traditional mariachi music performed by Mariachi Oro de México, a New Jersey–based group popular in the tri–state area. The keynote speaker for the opening night celebration will be Felipe Galindo (Feggo), renowned Mexican artist, illustrator, cartoonist and independent animator. Other special guests include Carlos Manuel Sada Solana, General Consul of Mexico in New York, and Teresa Vivar, activist and Executive Director of the organization Lazos America Unida in New Brunswick. Guest Historian and cocurator of the exhibit, Professor Darius Echeverría, will introduce this years exhibit. The 2011 program series includes dance performances, film screenings, book presentations and art workshops for children. Felipe Galindo (aka Feggo) is a renowned fine artist, illustrator, cartoonist, independent animator and teaching artist. Born in Cuernavaca, Mexico, he studied Visual Arts at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and currently lives and works in New York City. His work is in numerous private and public collections, and his drawings have appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, Nickelodeon, Mad, Narrative, INXart and in European publications like The International Herald Tribune, among others.
This years exhibit includes a selection of six works from Galidos Manhatitlán — an ongoing project that includes works on paper, exhibitions, animations and the recently released book Manhatitlán: Mexican and American Cultures Intertwined (International Latino Book Award 2011). His award–winning animation The Manhatitlán Chronicles has been screened at more than 50 international film festivals and venues like the Guggenheim Museum and the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid. It will be screened at the Newark Public Library on October 15, as part of this years Indocumentales/Undocumentary film screenings. Guest Historian, Dr. Darius Echeverría serves both the Department of History and the Department of Latino & Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University. Professor Echeverría also serves as a visiting scholar at Montclair State University, contributing in the classroom and on the advisory board of the universitys Latin American and Latino Studies Program. Mariachi Oro de México, will kick–off this years celebration with music that embodies the essence of Mexico and its people, but which is enjoyed around the world. Although mariachi is a genre of music from the state of Jalisco in western Mexico, the mariachi ensemble — with its violins, trumpets, classical guitar, vihuela (high–pitched, five–string guitar), guitarrón (large acoustic bass guitar) and musicians dressed in silver–studded charro outfits with wide–brimmed hats — has become emblematic of Mexican music worldwide and is commonly heard in places as far away as Japan and Europe. The opening night event and all Hispanic Heritage activities will take place at the Main Library, 5 Washington Street, downtown Newark. All programs are free and open to the general public. For more information, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com

LITERARY EVENT FILM SCREENING & DISCUSSION Flying with Emilio On July 12, 1928 one of Mexicos greatest aviators fatally crashed his plane in the New Jersey Pine Barrens during a thunderstorm while flying a historic goodwill mission from New York. The one-hour film, Flying with Emilio, takes you to a small community in New Jersey, where every year tribute is paid to a virtually unknown hero, Captain Emilio Carranza, who has been dubbed "Mexico's Charles Lindbergh." The members of American Legion Post 11 in Mount Holly recovered the body of the fallen aviator and held a memorial service in his honor. For over 80 years Post 11 has continued to honor Captain Carranza with an annual memorial service at the monument installed to honor the fallen aviator. This documentary, which was produced under the auspices of the American Legion Post 11, is the perfect starting point for anyone who is interested in the story of Carranzas life and legacy.

This member has provided no bio about themself...
They claim to have contacted the team but I don't recall getting any emails touching this matter.
He's separating two points which are both true but convey a different meaning/state of importance.
I would be jealous if I WAS working on your mod. I don't think I'd be able to carry that sort of shame unfortunately.
I can't offer an explanation because there is none hahaha same goes for Marcus and Curtis because I looked at the chat log and they were kicked while David said nothing, you yourself didn't even bother to care or question why, Secondly I don't need a reason/vigorous intent to get into the industry to work on a project, I simply wanted to offer my skills to Orion prelude and was shat on.
I will agree to this but you tried to dump several things on me to be completed within 2 days which is overboard, You should try learning a skill *since you have none at all* and see that it's alot harder than typing up words and fooling supporters.
As for the 2nd quit I technically didn't, I had already came to the conclusion that you FIRED ME WITHOUT NOTICE because I looked on the SGS forum and my dev access was revoked then I saw the recruitment posts saying that you're searching for 2 animators.
I've worked with him, I know william alot better than you do pal. I will upload the chat logs from skype if you want them so you can see his general "I'd be stupid to not work on orion I better play it safe and suck this guy off in hopes of my future career" attitude.
The only reason why people like yourself are defending him is because of desperation to get into the game industry which is not what I'm after, Yes, I'm talking to you William Cockham. If he really was a good guy he'd offer an explanation off the bat for what he did rather than silently kicking people from the group chat without a word, beyond unprofessional/immature. If you can't keep a promise then don't make one, If you don't like someone's work then immediately tell them to stop working and tell them why rather than make a phony PR excuse/cover-up a week later because you couldn't think of an excuse right off the bat for using their work without crediting/compensating them.
If he wants maybe we can cut a deal for my work that's currently in the game build since I wasn't technically fired, I just find it super freakingly surprising that my dev access was removed and that he's searching for 2 more animators as I was not informed of this you know thus leading me to extreme measures.
Hello, if you would like to read a rant created by me, a recent former developer at SGS then please go to this link Pastebin.com as the number of characters exceeds the length for moddb comments.
get mad because of another dumb piece of ******* **** mod (that also doesnt bring anything new) we don't need and if you keep taking criticism like that you'll be a champ
dunno looks like the same crap to me
You can't really say it's weak unless you've killed something with it.
Helloooo I've seen you posting on various topics and you seem to be blatantly ignoring me, Can you at least reply to me because this is getting annoying and you're coming off as immature if I don't get an answer.
rnl stole content and foliage from half life 2 get real
that won't ever happen due to all the contracts and finance involved.
lmao volcol, that kid has some serious mental issues, you should have did a background check on him before getting him onboard.
Origin is not centered towards the crosshair, Grip on the SMG with the left hand is incorrect in terms of finger posing, lack of timing to the animations in general, fire animations don't seem to snap well *SMG fire animation looks like it's a three frames and doesn't have any recoil*
It's a nice effort overall but I do not see the reason for this especially since they need to be worked on alot more, The default animations are perfectly fine.
Btw it's me Javid, I'm the guy that contacted you about animations a while ago incase you forgot
Hey man, just letting you know I'm still around, I thought I had sent an email to the character modeler but it looks like it didn't get through....
Anyway yeah, I'm still up to working on the project, Do you have Skype, MSN, Steam or anything? It's probably best if we get a better way of communication since emails and such aren't being my friend as of recent.
It will be, right now I'm on the fence when it comes to how long a reload animation lasts *The weapon's usefulness especially if it's empty* as you know how a zombie can take you down in 4-5 hits.
I'd probably say the micro uzi will replace the mac10 due to the similarities.
Though the models might be different, some of the stats will be the same with the addition of many more weapons including melee.
Truly unique and amazing, I cannot wait to play this mod.
>Some dumb mod made by a bunch of nerds on the internet after the aftermath of some other dumb mod
Do you guys need help in the animation department? I'd love to help out if possible.
When he shakes his hands they look really ******* weird, I also don't see much life and movement in the animations, if you look at yourself in a mirror you'll see that you do more than just rotating your chest slightly up and down.
Well for a GAME those are some ******* horribly bland models.

Wise buyers choose boats that are reasonably well looked after, and if not know how to fix whatever is wrong.
I agree with the latter bit! When it comes to safety, you should bring your full faculties to bear. You need a plan to make sure that whatever happens, the risks will be acceptable to you.
But I think buyers will find that the market is just brimming with boats at all price levels that are perfectly safe. In my case, the fact the boat was purchased unpowered and has a substantially simple electrical system mitigated much of the risk. A professional survey two month prior gave us at least a basic confidence in the standing rigging.
Money doesn't buy safety.
Obviously a boat with certain kinds of problems is just going to be no good. But I think the lions share of safety comes from using the right kind of safety equipment, which is relatively cheap, and good seamanship. Rig failure and sinking are risks even on the best yacht; safety comes from being prepared, and having a plan that will work when these things happen.
So I stand by my advice that the best thing to do is just to get a boat and get some nautical miles under your keel--while still keeping all of your wits about you.
(Of course, I am truly a beginner, so if I end up sinking in the Pacific and having my mast-crunched, hypothermic body eaten by sharks, a good round of we-told-you-so may be in order. Other beginners should take this into account before listening to my advice, or anyone else's.)

Great deal and REI is great with in store returns. Bought a pair online and had to return to a REI store, no problem at all.
And final response...called their customer service and they credited he shipping cost to me rather than cancelling the order and redoing it. Good job REI.

Abstract | Cytochrome P450cin (CYP176A1) is a bacterial P450 isolated from Citrobacter braakii that catalyses the hydroxylation of 1,8-cineole to (1R)-6-hydroxycineole. P450cin uses two redox partners in vitro for catalysis: cindoxin, its physiological FMN-containing redox partner, and Escherichia coli flavodoxin reductase. Here we report the construction of a tricistronic plasmid that expresses P450cin, cindoxin and E. coli flavodoxin reductase and a bicistronic plasmid that encodes only P450cin and cindoxin. E. coli transformed with the bicistronic vector effectively catalysed the oxidation of 1,8-cineole, with the endogenous E. coli flavodoxin reductase presumably acting as the terminal electron transfer protein. This in vivo system was capable of producing enantiomerically pure (1R)-6-hydroxycineole in yields of ∼1 g/L culture, thus providing a simple, one-step synthesis of this compound. In addition, the metabolism of (1R)- and (1S)-camphor, structural homologues of 1,8-cineole was also evaluated in order to investigate the ability of this in vivo system to produce compounds for mechanistic studies. Significant quantities of five of the six possible secondary alcohols arising from methylene oxidation of both (1R)- and (1S)-camphor were isolated and structurally characterised. The similarity of the (1R)- and (1S)-camphor product profiles highlight the importance of the inherent reactivity of the substrate in determining the regiochemistry of oxidation in the absence of any specific enzyme–substrate binding interactions. |

Lotus Elise Driving Experience
Colin Chapman's mantra of "to add speed, add lightness" certainly applies to the Lotus Elise. This outstanding, lightweight, mid engined pocket rocket combines pulsating acceleration with go kart handling, offering an overall driving experience that leaves many other supercars in the shade.
The Elise may not have a huge engine, however the power to weight ratio more than compensates for this and with the engine mid mounted the cornering ability will leave you speechless. Nought to sixty is achieved in well under six seconds making the Elise come alive on the track. Tyres squeal on every bend as they refuse to relinquish their grip, the lotus driving experience really is just that, an experience. And one to be savoured.
The Lotus driving experience begins with a short briefing on safety and driving etiquette followed by four miles in a sports saloon alongside a qualified instructor, teaching you the racing lines and the braking points of the circuit. With the lines learnt it's time to strap yourself in to the Elise for six exhilarating miles round the fantastic Three Sisters circuit. With your instructor by your side you will be encouraged to push this dynamic car as close to the limit of its capabilities as you can.
On Completion of your drive you will receive a short debrief followed by a certificate presentation. Professional photographs and DVD's can also be viewed and purchased, offering a timeless reminder of your drive. Family and friends are not only welcomed, they are encouraged to come and enjoy the whole experience.

As we identify and recognize the communities needs, the Civic Association encourages the participation of its membership and the Community in an effort to improve Saint Augustine Beach.
December was an incredible month for our community. We thank everyone who either volunteered, participated and supported all of these great events. The Civic Association's Surf Illumination event was a big hit with kids of all shapes, sizes and ages. Santa stopped by and posed for photos and Mayor Andrea Samuels threw the swwitch on our gorgeous holiday tree with the help of State Representative Doc Renuart.
The Divas Half Marathon and 5K run took place for the first time here in St Augustine Beach on Sunday December 7th. Beach Boulevard was filled with over 3000 runners, mostly female for this fn and very well organized event. According to early numbers the event attracted over 6000 people to the community, over2000 overnight stays and over 1.8 million dollars of ecoonomic impact. Kudos to the both our City and County governments and a very special thank you to our St Augustine Beach Police, St Johns County Sheriff's Department and our Fire-Rescue first responders for their stellar effort.
And on a windy and chilly New Years Eve we rang in the 2015 with Beach Blast Off. Once again the event drew huge crowds and teh entertainment was exceptional this year. The talented and unique Pristine Strings opened the show. Fans were then treated to the very soulful sounds of Billy Buchanan and Free Avenue. The very talented Red River Band provided two sets of music, one before and one after the souths best New Years Fireworks show.
Hope to see everyone next year for another amazing holiday season here in St Augustine Beach. To see more photos please visit the event website at www.beachblastoff.com

Karl Mannheim's Jewish Question

In this paper, we explore Karl Mannheim's puzzling failure (or refusal) to address himself in any way to questions arising out of the position of Jews in Germany, either before or after the advent of Nazi rule—and this, notwithstanding the fact, first, that his own ethnic identification as a Jew was never in question and that he shared vivid experiences of anti-Semitism, and consequent exile from both Hungary and Germany, and, second, that his entire sociological method rested upon using one's own most problematic social location—as woman, say, or youth, or intellectual—as the starting point for a reflexive investigation. It was precisely Mannheim's convictions about the integral bond between thought grounded in reflexivity and a mission to engage in a transformative work of Bildung that made it effectively impossible for him to formulate his inquiries in terms of his way of being Jewish. It is through his explorations of the rise and fall of the intellectual as socio-cultural formation that Mannheim investigates his relations to his Jewish origins and confronts the disaster of 1933. The key to our puzzle is to be found in the theory of assimilation put forward in the dissertation of his student, Jacob Katz.Keywords:

Main :: Vetta
Re-using Vetta Power amp
by Phoenix on 2012-06-13 05:52:52
by Phoenix on 2012-06-13 05:52:52
I have a vetta combo (rebuilt into a head unit) that has been lying around for a while. I still get juice out of it, however i have now upgraded to a POD HD Pro.
Is it possible to remove the power amp in the Vetta and build it into a rack unit that i can plug the HD outputs into??
Has anyone attempted anything like this? Is it possible?
If anyone can advise me on how to go about this it would be great. (if this breach's Line6's terms and conditions, i have well VOID the warrenty and claim all responibility to any damage done)

Here's one I've personally been waiting for … writer Kurt Busiek previews his The Witchlands project over on his blog, offering a look at the cover by Zachary Baldus and some of the interior art by Conner Willumsen.
The project was first announced in San Diego in 2009 at the WildStorm panel and was originally titled Kurt Busiek's American Gothic. With WildStorm going away, he told Heidi at The Beat that it will likely be coming from somewhere else within DC.
Be sure to click on over to his blog to see Willumsen's interior art.

Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek breaks a Guinness World Record
Has hosted almost 7,000 episodes of "Jeopardy!"
Video for mobile: http://bit.ly/1iBqezU
(CNN) -- What is a new record for hosting a single show, Alex?
"Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek should be giving that answer himself -- since he's the man who set the record.
On Friday, Trebek entered the Guinness World Records for "most game show episodes hosted by the same presenter (one show)" with a hefty 6,829. That's 30 seasons of the answer-and-question landmark, which will begin its 31st season in September.
Trebek, 73, has hosted "Jeopardy!" since its return in 1984 as a syndicated program, and he's also hosted some prime-time incarnations. Before Trebek, "Jeopardy!" was part of NBC's daytime schedule and hosted by the late Art Fleming.
Trebek, whose contract runs until 2016, said he's still enjoying the job.
"It's an honor to hold the Guinness World Record for hosting 'Jeopardy!,' which I've often said is the best of reality TV," he said in a statement.
In a video accompanying the Guinness announcement, he added, "It's a fun show to do, and it's a quality program that I never have to apologize for when I meet people. So there are no downsides."
Despite his longevity, Trebek still has a ways to go to equal the man who holds the record for the most hours of TV hosted, period. That would be Regis Philbin, who has about 17,000 hours on American television, including talk shows, local-interest programs and the quiz show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." For the time being, he's the final answer on that question.

This paper discusses the experimental evaluation of performance of squeeze film dampers without centralizing retaining springs. Rotor amplitudes in the damper plane and damping coefficient have been considered to assess the system performance. Tests were conducted on two damper configurations that were to go in the rotor assembly of a certain gas turbine engine. Land width and film thickness were varied, and experiments were conducted for different values of excitation frequency, oil supply pressure, and unbalance. The test program showed that the parameters are to be individually optimized to obtain better overall performance in the damper systems without centralizing springs. The damper configurations subjected to severe dynamic conditions due to unbalance on overhung mass were also experimentally analyzed.

Released: Nov 01st, 2003
Running Time: 103
Director: Michael Raven
Company: Wicked Pictures
Ava Vincent, Joey Ray, Nick Manning, Voodoo, Olivia Del Rio, Kurt Lockwood, Devinn Lane, Dale DaBone, Wendy Divine, Nicole Sheridan
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Feature
A good \"buddy picture\" that should bring couples in.
Devinn Lane and Joey Ray are getting married, they admit during the first of many "he said/she said" interludes. The tale, though, is in how they get there, and while the sexual action portrayed in service of that story is hot, and the production values excellent throughout, the plot doesn't really hang together as tightly as it should.
The primary setting is a poker game between several of the male leads, and much of the sex is told in flashback there from, notably leading off with a hot couples tangle between Joey and Olivia Del Rio, who may be the most sensuous actress in porn today. They start with some horizontal kissing on the couch, move into tit licks, pussy licks and b.j.; then Olivia mounts him cowgirl style, and he sticks his fingers in her ass for extra stimulation. Doggie completes the scene, with Olivia raising her leg for a good audience view before the facial. Pre-nom this for Best Couples Scene.
Also well worth watching is the Ava Vincent/Wendy Divine/Kurt Lockwood threeway, but viewers won't want to miss Devinn's clit rubbing while riding Dale DaBone in the following scene, nor her hip action during the doggie. Sadly, her inevitable finale doggie/mish with Joey doesn't quite measure up to that.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in collaboration with the Ad Council today expanded efforts to continue to provide information, support and resources to individuals and families affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
"While the immediate crisis is over, many Gulf Coast residents continue to need support as they work to rebuild their lives after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It is natural for some people to need help over time in dealing with the emotional trauma and distress experienced from such an event and associated losses," said SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S. Hyde, J.D.
The new television, English and Spanish radio ads and outdoor public service advertisements were created by Grey New York, Clear Channel Creative Services Group and Lamar Advertising through the Ad Council.

by C. H. Spurgeon From the September 1865 Sword and Trowel
YSTEMATIC THEOLOGIANS HAVE USUALLY regarded union to Christ under three aspects, natural, mystical, and federal, and it may be that these three terms are comprehensive enough to embrace the whole subject, but as our aim in this article is simplicity, let us be pardoned if we appear diffuse when we follow a less concise method. 1. The saints were from the beginning joined to Christ by bands of everlasting love. Before he took on him their nature, or brought them into a conscious enjoyment of himself, his heart was set upon their persons, and his soul delighted in them. Long ere the worlds were made, his prescient eye beheld his chosen, and viewed them with delight. Strong were the indissoluble bands of love which then united Jesus to the souls whom he determined to redeem. Not bars of brass, or triple steel, could have been more real and effectual bonds. True love, of all things in the universe, has the greatest cementing force, and will bear the greatest strain, and endure the heaviest pressure: who shall tell what trials the Savior's love has borne, and how well it has sustained them? Never union more true than this. As the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David so that he loved David as his own soul, so was our glorious Lord united and joined to us by the ties of fervent, faithful love. Love has a most potent power in effecting and sustaining union, but never does it display its force so well as when we see it bringing the Maker into oneness with the creature, the divine into alliance with the human. This, then, is to be regarded as the day-spring of union,the love of Christ Jesus the Lord embracing in its folds the whole of the elected family. 2. There is moreover a union of purpose as well as of love. By the first we have seen that the elect are made one with Jesus by the act and will of the Son, by the second they are joined to him by the ordination and decree of the Father. These divine acts are co-eternal. The Son loved and chose his people to be his own bride, the Father made the same choice, and decreed the chosen ones for ever one with his all-glorious Son. The Son loved them, and the Father decreed them his portion and inheritance; the Father ordained them to be what the Son himself did make them. In God's purpose they have been eternally associated parts of one design. Salvation was the fore-ordained scheme whereby God would magnify himself, and a Savior was in that scheme from necessity associated with the persons chosen to be saved. The scope of the dispensation of grace included both; the circle of wisdom comprehended Redeemer and redeemed in its one circumference. They could not be dissociated in the mind and will of the all-planning Jehovah.
This sacred tie forbids their fears, For all he is, or has is theirs; With him their head, they stand or fall, Their life, their surety, and their all." (Kent.)

Best non-electronic earmuffs
I usually use just earplugs but have been told I should double up. I recently rented a pair (pro ears but don't know model) at the range. It didn't fit too well over my glasses and wasn't that much better than just wearing the plugs.
I found 2 that are made by Peltor. Peltor H10A professional 29db Peltor Ultimate 30db both on Amazon for the same price. Which one do you guys recommend? Any others in the $20-$30 price range that are much better as far as comfort, quality, and noise elimination? |

I use the Peltor Ultimate 10. They are effective and comfortable. I actually have 2 sets, mine and the set my father used to use before he quit shooting. I keep one next to the table saw.
From what I've seen and read, the other option seems to be the high-db Howard Leight muffs. |
